Emiko Nagao
Design Director | Top StylistÂ
With over 20 years of experience across Japan and Singapore, Emiko’s greatest joy is helping every client leave her chair feeling confident and truly cared for. Known for her cheerful, attentive persona, Emiko specialises in haircuts and perms.
​
Emiko believes great hair is a collaborative effort. Whether you need a routine maintenance trim or a complete style makeover, she works closely with you. Emiko carefully considers your unique face shape, bone structure, and hair texture to craft effortless low-maintenance cuts, tailored to your everyday lifestyle and Singapore’s humid weather. From weight-reducing low-maintenance short bobs for thick hair to volume-enhancing layered medium-length styles for fine hair, every cut is shaped to fall naturally into place.
​
If you are worried about dryness or hair damage from traditional perms, Emiko specialises in Advante Treatment Perms. Unlike harsh alkaline perms that strip moisture and leave hair frizzy, this advanced acidic treatment infuses essential amino acids into the hair while setting your curl - leaving chemically treated or dry hair soft, hydrated, and naturally bouncy.
​
Also a certified Japanese Headspa Meister who trains Room’s headspa team, Emiko brings advanced scalp care and restorative therapy to the salon. She customizes tailored scalp treatments for a full spectrum of conditions, from everyday stress and tension to targeted hair loss care utilizing Morimana Exosomes hair therapy, rebalancing scalp vitality while preserving long-term hair health.

Specialising in non-damaging hair straightening and anti-frizz treatments, Daria can customize a tailored solution for different hair conditions—from untamed natural frizz to fragile, already-damaged locks—without compromising hair integrity.Â
For deep structural restoration and natural wave reduction, she performs Nanoplastia hair straightening—a popular, 100% formaldehyde-free European treatment that uses organic amino acids and collagen to leave hair soft, sleek, and frizz-free.
​
Being proficient in hair colors, Daria designs each look as a personal fit - rich, single-tone shades or precise highlighting, including Airtouch, chosen around your features and hair density, and paired with feminine, elongated cuts.
​
She treats hair as one connected system, giving close, ongoing attention to scalp health and continually deepening her expertise in head spa and aesthetic trichology. Drawing on advanced exosome-based formulas alongside sustainable, plant-based lines, she builds a treatment plan suited to each client's individual scalp condition.
